00:00The digestive process starts in your mouth when you chew. Chewing breaks the
00:12food into pieces while saliva mixes with food. Once you begin swallowing, the
00:19process becomes automatic. Muscles in your esophagus propel food down to your
00:25stomach. A ring-like muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and
00:39lets food pass into the stomach. The stomach produces enzymes and acids and
00:45stomach muscles mix food and liquid with digestive juices. Then the stomach slowly
00:54empties this semi-fluid composition called chyme into the first section of
00:58the small intestine called the duodenum. The pancreas makes enzymes that break
01:04down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins and delivers them to the duodenum through
01:09small tubes called ducts. The liver makes a digestive juice called bile that helps
01:18digest fats and some vitamins and store it in the gallbladder. When you eat, your
01:23gallbladder squeezes bile through the ducts into your duodenum.
01:36The peristalsis actions of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices
01:41and push the mixture forward for further digestion. Water and essential nutrients
01:48pass through the small finger-like projections called veli into the
01:52bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive
01:58process move into the large intestine. More water absorbs here. Bacteria in the
02:09large intestine helps break down remaining nutrients and materials and
02:13changes the waste from the liquid into the stool.
02:24Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.
02:33The anus is the last part of the digestive tract. It is two inches long.
02:40The anus is surrounded by sphincter muscles that are important in allowing
02:45control of stool. It lets you know whether the contents are liquid, gas, or
02:51solid.
